About Me

I have been married to Laurie for over 46 years. Our oldest son, Andy, lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife Jenn and their son Kevin. Our youngest son Mike lives in Oxnard, California with his wife Vanessa and their kids Jacob and Mary. Although I retired from teaching in June of 2007, the 2015 football season marked my 45th year of coaching football at five high schools in Southern California's Ventura County - Thousand Oaks, Westlake, Rio Mesa, Buena and Newbury Park. In 2008, I opted to try something totally different in my coaching career and started coaching in Europe. My EuroBall stops have been in Catania, Sicily in 2008 & '09, Hässleholm, Sweden in 2010, Thun, Switzerland in 2012, Lyon, France in 2012-13 with the 12-0 National Champion Bron-Villeurbanne Falcons, Murcia, Spain in 2015, Rivas, Spain in 2016, Upplands-Väsby, Sweden in the Spring of 2016 & '17, in Mexico to coach the Europe Warriors in Aug. & Dec. 2017 and now in 2018 in Varese, Italy. Join me as I explore and chronicle my newest adventures coaching American football in Europe. My European touring also included a 500 mile Pilgrimage Walk on the Camino de Santiago in Spain in 2010.

American Football Scores From Around the Globe

Last weekend's key reults:The Hueneme H.S. Vikings J.V. team dropped to 1-2 with a 54-20 loss to Nordhoff. Michael Contreras comented that you play like you practice, so true.Rio Mesa is now 1-1 after an Italian Football League game broke out in El Rio last Friday. Despite Taner Wrout's 4 TD effort, Ventura was able to outlast the Spartans by a final score of 55-41.The Washington Huskies are now 1-2 after being manhandled by Nebraska 56-21.Jason Johnson's Pacific Lutheran University Lutes got a big win against Cal Lutheran by a score of 35-21. PLU is now 2-0.In NFL action, Scott Fujita's Cleveland Browns dropped to 0-2 after losing another close one, this time to the Kansas City Chiefs 16-14.Meanwhile, in SAFF relegation games, the two Superseries teams were both triumphant. Djurgården (1-10) beat Ystad (10-2-1) 7-0 and Arlanda (5-6) beat Örebro (13-1) 28-6. There is definitely a BIG difference between Superseries and Division I, as there should be I guess.

Camarillo Cougars Junior Gold 18-0 vs. Santa Clarita Gold...we went to their home field and stomped them. My son Noah starts at Middle Linebacker and did some damage!!!

Camarillo Cougars J2Gold 28-42 vs Sta Clarita J2Navy.....they beat us at RHS, but the game was closer than the score indicates. They got two cheesy TD's and we should have had two from dropped passes. Turn those plays around and the outcome was totally different. My defensive calls were good too, we confused the heck out of them...their Head Coach told me so.My son Joey starts at Strong Side LB and he kicked butt!!!

Today my oldest son plays for Camarillo HS Frosh team...he made first team WR, I'll update after the game.Thanks for letting me do a little hijacking here!!!
